"We have different views about capital punishment, but we agree on this: If the system is to retain any legitimacy, it must never be used against an innocent person, and especially not in a case where no crime took place. We urge @GovAbbott and the board to heed the widespread calls for justice in #RobertRobersons case and grant him clemency." — @JohnGrisham @DougDeason, @dallasnews

BREAKING: Rosa Jimenez was just exonerated after 18 years of wrongful conviction in Texas. Her charges were dismissed after medical experts affirmed the death of the 21-month-old child at the center of her case was a tragic accident, not murder.
